    • Probably because their best junior isn’t age-eligible…”juniors” are technically only 14 and 15 year olds (born in 2002 or 2003 to be eligible this year) but Camille Rasmussen, the best Danish junior, is only 13, born in 2004. Probably not worth it to send juniors who aren’t at some sort of standard they’ve set for international competition…but we’ll definitely see Camille at Junior Euros next year and EYOF in 2019!

  2. Interesting thing I noticed about Georgia: I recognized Lali Dekanoidze from her competing at the Nastia Cup before.

    • Yup! She will be a great addition to that country’s roster as they’ve been building in the past few years…hoping for good things from her in Hungary next week!

  3. I don’t know if the Portuguese federation has already confirmed these two girls but one of the senior gymnasts, Leonor Feijó, posted a picture with both of them wishing them good luck for the EYOF so I guess this is some kind of confirmation they’re definitely the ones to represent Portugal in Hungary.
